Seattle Orcas just did not have enough runs on the board but they'll be dispoaiinted with the ease they let MI New York sfore the runs. Gannon did get two early but then it was his second over which let the momentum shift towards MI. They were just outplayed by a far better team.
A strong win for MI New York! It was never in doubt once they restricted their opposition to a low score. They did lose two early but then it was the Pooran show. He counter attacked and scored a fine fifty. He stayed there till the end and ensured his side get a comprehensive win.
